Naturally, the staff of Super Chevy Magazine will be at both events, shooting coverage for the pages of the world's number one Chevrolet periodical, but also looking out for feature and cover cars.

The Bandimere event will be the first Super Chevy Show ever to host an LS shootout-it'll be run bracket-style and presented by Corvette Connection in Denver. It's open to any GM vehicle with an LS engine. No electronics are allowed and you must run DOT tires. Also, plans are in the works to run a cruise to the event from a popular location (which we are not yet at liberty to disclose.

"We've been involved with Super Chevy Show for years," said racing personality Lucky Hudson, who will be at both events as a racer and sponsor, representing Currie Enterprises, which manufactures high-performance rearends. "There's a lot of excitement for the series with the new owners. We're a west-based company, so these two events are very important to us and our customers."

The Denver Super Chevy Show presented by Stevinson Chevrolet will be highlighted by a pro show that features the 6- second West Coast Outlaw Pro Mods, along with jet cars and a wheelstander. The weekend will also include sportsman racing, along with the popular Shoebox class, a car show and a vendor swap meet. There is also the Car Toys Aftershock Stage, which will provide round the clock entertainment.

The Phoenix Super Chevy Show, which will conclude the 10-race season, is one of the most-anticipated races on the tour, as this will be the Super Chevy Show's first visit to Firebird International Raceway in five seasons.

The highlights for the season finale will be the heroes of the Nostalgic Funny Car Show, who pay homage to drag racing's glory days while still providing some fantastic side-by-side competition. The show also will feature sportsman racing, the car show and vendor swap meet. An autocross is also scheduled at this event.

"The Phoenix race is going to be such a big draw," said Hudson, who in addition to representing Currie Enterprises will also be at the two races with his live online television show, Speed Scene Live. The show can be accessed via the Internet at speedsceneracing.com. "This (event) draws a lot of fans and racers from Texas and Southern California, in addition to the fans from Arizona. A lot of them came to the first race in Las Vegas, and are excited to come back.

"They are looking forward it and with the track recently resurfaced, it should be one of the top events of the season."
